Football: Adam Carr comes to the rescue for Sherman Oaks Notre Dame
Quarterbacks have been dropping in the Mission League because of injuries, and things looked bleak for Sherman Oaks Notre Dame last week.
Facing a must-win situation and with its starting quarterback, Cole Klayman, appearing to be lost for the season with a dislocated shoulder, the Knights had to turn to junior Adam Carr, who had been the third-string quarterback.
Carr responded with 284 yards passing and three touchdowns to help the Knights defeat Loyola, 28-21, and keep their Pac-5 Division playoff hopes alive.
“He did great,” Coach Kevin Rooney said.
Carr, a 6-foot-4 transfer from Westlake, was expected to compete with Klayman for the starting job, but he injured his thumb during preseason workouts and had been largely relegated to being a backup in the third-string spot.
Now he’s expected to be the starter the rest of the season for games against Alemany and Bishop Amat.
